Tell Your Representative to Join the Public Housing Caucus

The Congressional Public Housing Caucus was formed last year by Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) and Rep. Steve Stivers (R-Ohio) to focus Congressional attention on public housing.

Congressional caucuses are groups of members of Congress who meet to pursue specific goals, usually educating their colleagues on a specific issue. These groups are formed officially in the House of Representatives and unofficially in the Senate. The Public Housing Caucus provides an incredibly important forum for members of Congress to meet and discuss ideas related to public housing outside of the normal hearing or legislative process.

Help Rep. Cleaver and Rep. Stivers continue the conversation on public housing in the 116th Congress by asking your members to join the Congressional Public Housing Caucus. After you send your letters, next week call your legislators' offices to confirm they've joined. To reach their office, call the Capitol switchboard to request to be put through to your members' office- (202) 224-3121.

As a member of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO), I hope you will consider joining the Congressional Public Housing Caucus. This critical caucus will serve as a forum to connect Members of Congress and their staff to public housing professionals like me to improve outcomes for my residents and Americans who aren’t currently receiving rental assistance but who are struggling to affordable a suitable home in their communities.

There are 1.1 million public housing units owned and operated by more than 3,000 public housing authorities throughout the United States and its territories, including units owned by my agency in our community. These homes are spread out among urban, suburban, and rural communities, housing a diverse population of residents- ranging from elderly and disabled, to young families and military veterans. While the challenges and opportunities confronting each individual and community are unique, we all share a common need for a place to call home.

Our nation’s federal housing policies are at the forefront of efforts to prevent homelessness, address the affordable housing crisis, and overcome structural poverty. The goal of the Congressional Public Housing Caucus is to educate Members of Congress and their staff of the latest policy developments affecting these efforts.

I hope you will support public housing in our district by joining the Congressional Public Housing Caucus. To join, please contact Mark Gilbride of Representative Steve Stivers’ staff (mark.gilbride@mail.house.gov) or Eric Morrissette of Emanuel Cleavers’ staff (Eric.Morrissette@mail.house.gov).

Thank you for your consideration.
